CCIEE Vice Chairman Says PBOC Will Be First to Roll Out Digital Currency
"Huang Qifan, vice chairman of CCIEE (China Center for International Economic Exchanges), has expressly stated that he does not believe Facebook’s digital currency Libra will be successful. He firmly holds that China’s central bank is close to developing its blockchain-based financial technology and will be the first in the world to officially roll out a usable digital currency"

I was looking to lend my USDT to earn the interest on it instead of just keeping it idle in my Ledger and I found 3 top Crypto Lending Sites for longer term lending.
My requirement were Secuity, insurance, NO-lockup, withdraw anytime etc.
(I would not urge to lend all of your portfolio just enough of it which gonna stay idle for long time.)
1. NEXO
a. Founded in 2017
b. backed by the founder of TechCrunch: Michael Arrington.
c. Have nearly 200,000 customers and back payments in 45 Fiat currencies.
PROS :
a. Nexo Wallets provided by BitGo. Thus, users who borrow or lend Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are
b. Funds are insured for up to $100M by Lloyd’s, in case of a hack or bankruptcy. This amount is for the total company, not per person.
c. Daily interest. Deposit/Withdraw anytime.
d. 8% interest (USD, EUR, GBP, USDT, TUSD, USDC, PAX, DAI)
e. Available on Web and mobile app.
CONS :
a. Can only deposit stable coins and fiat currencies.
b. No support for BTC and ETH yet, but there is no projected idea when this will happen.
2. BLOCKFI
a. Founded by Zac Prince and Flori Marquez.
b. Company has raised over $20M from including Coinbase Ventures.
PROS :
a. 6.2% interest rate on BTC and 3.3% on ETH for lenders, compounded.
b. 4.5% interest rate for borrowers. This is a plus for lenders.
c. No minimum deposit.
d. Crypto assets are stored with Gemini (licensed custodian with insurance and has a perfect track record void of hacks or customer fund losses.)
CONS :
a. Interest rates decrease to 2.2% and 0.2% for deposits over 10 BTC and 100 ETH (respectively).
b. Only BTC, ETH and GUSD are available.
c. Not FDIC insured, though Gemini -- their wallet provider -- has a strong track record for security.
3. CELSIUS NETWORK
a. Founded in 2018 by Alex Mashinsky (one of inventors and patent holders of VOIP (voice over IP) technology.)
b. He holds numerous awards for entrepreneurship.
PROS :
a. Offers interest on BTC, ETH, and other top 10+ cryptocurrencies.
b. No withdrawal fees, no deposit fees, no transaction fees, no early termination fees, no origination fees.
c. same insurance security as NEXO provided by Lloyd’s.
d. Weekly interest. Deposit/Withdraw anytime.
e. Higher interest rates (8%+) than NEXO on stablecoins.
f. Higher interest rates (up to 10%) when accepting to be paid interest with CEL tokens -- the Celsius cryptocurrency.
CONS :
a. CEL, their ICO token, has been suspended for U.S. customers. Which means U.S. customers can’t benefit from the highest interest rates possible.
b. Mobile App only. The user experience isn't as good as Nexo's.
There are other lending sites which I won't go in detail which cater exclusive to some coins like Compound.Finance (only DAI stable coin) and DharmaLever (Only DAI stable coin and Ether, 90 day lock in).
CONCLUSION :
Overall, I think Nexo and Celsius are 2 lenders where I'll try to lend to earn interest instead of depending on only one for diversification.
Both have pros & cons and it's better to not put all egss in one basket.
My requirement were Secuity, insurance, NO-lockup, withdraw anytime etc.

True disruptive technology takes time
We have been working for over 2 years on the 2key protocol and our Network. Our work started slow with just Eitan coding, but over the past 2 years, we grew an amazing team of over 18 people that are all working day and night to make 2key reality.
We believe that small businesses should have the same chances as huge monopolies.
If you want to help us on our path to bringing Crypto to mainstream, join us.
Too many ICOs just talk, raise, and run!
We think there is a different and better way to bring innovation through tokenized startups. So if you like what we do and want to help, reach out to us on our Telegram, LinkedIN, or other social media channels. 🗝🗝

According to a report by Hummingbot, MATIC is one of the strongest crypto assets in terms of liquidity!
Though MATIC’s position in terms of market capitalization is currently ~100, by volume MATIC token is ranked at position ~30.
Liquidity is one of the most important aspects of determining the health of any crypto asset. Whereas most smaller-cap cryptocurrency coins have low liquidity, MATIC is excelling in this department.
